This Torquay apartment with touches of luxury and some old glamour furnishings is all on the ground floor (from the roadside) yet its hillside position means that it’s elevated on the seaward side, offering wonderful panoramic views of Torquay’s beaches, harbour and more - all nearby for families to enjoy from this ideal seaside getaway. If you can drag yourself away from the impressive balcony, take a stroll by the harbour and marina (0.5 miles) to look at the yachts and stop for a local seafood lunch with a view. Enjoy family beach days at scenic Torre Abbey Sands (0.5 miles) or other nearby beaches, some of which offer water sports. Walking fan? The South West Coast Path, which passes through Torquay, offers coastal footpaths with excellent views of South Devon.
The spacious living area is a great spot for families to chill out together with large windows offering those excellent sea views and a glass door giving direct access to the sought-after private balcony. Grab a spot on the leather Chesterfield sofas or armchairs - which add a touch of old glamour - and take in Torquay vistas. Brought the kids? The TV and DVD player means family film nights with a sparkling view as it grows dark outside. There’s also a four-seater dining table in this social space which leads through to the kitchen, all with solid oak flooring. Classical decor continues in the king-size bedroom with a wrought iron bed frame and dressing table with stool. The TV with Freeview is wall mounted at the end of the bed to help you unwind. You won’t even have to leave the privacy of your room for those sea views, thanks to the generous windows and glass door leading to the balcony: simply wake up and step out. You’ll appreciate the bedroom’s en-suite shower room with underfloor heating. There’s also a twin room with a TV and DVD player plus a large, sea-view window overlooking the balcony. The main bathroom boasts underfloor heating and a luxurious corner bath that’s perfect for soaking after days at the beach.
Enjoy the seaside without having to leave this home from home thanks to the large, private balcony that offers spectacular seascapes across Torbay, Torre Abbey Sands, Torquay Harbour and Marina and all the way to Berry head cliffs. Kick back in the two sun loungers or take family dinners alfresco on the large patio table with four chairs. There’s also a shared, landscaped garden outside of the property, three floors below. It faces the sea and leads to private access to the Royal Terrace Gardens (also known as Rock Walk Gardens) and the scenic promenade that lines the seafront.
